This also describes Arizona saloons. Though I guess they frequently have a food truck as the 'kitchen', but if all you want is free salty snacks there's that too.

I am literally inside one right now lol
Anyway the best chicken burrito I've ever had in my life was from a food truck in the parking lot of a Cottonwood saloon!! No kidding.
Now this is a state-by-state thing. Saloons aren't legal in every state. In Virginia, you have to both serve food from a kitchen and get a certain percentage of sales from food if you serve booze* but they are many in which this is not the case.

The White House denied Iranian state media's claim of a draft MOU for peace negotiations

A statement on X (Twitter) declared: "This report from Iranian-controlled media is false, and the MOU they 'released' is entirely fabricated.
1)
No one should trust the information disseminated by Iranian state media. FACTS MATTER."

The purported document indicated the U.S. would remove its naval blockade on Iranian ports and withdraw troops near Iran
2)
In return, Iran would restore commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to pre-war levels within a month

A senior official noted the MOU allows the U.S. 60 days to finalize an agreement and obligates Iran to "give up the nuclear dust"

Backprop is the engine of deep learning, but neuroscientists have insisted for decades that the brain can't do it. There are no dedicated "error" neurons or backward wiring.

What if the brain doesn't compute error in space, but in time? 🧵 Image
2/
In "This is how the Neocortex Learns," Randall C. O'Reilly presents a unified theory showing how the mammalian brain approximates backpropagation.

It uses temporal differences across a 200 ms cycle to bypass the need for explicit error-representing cells.
3/
The math relies on an implicit error state:
Error ≈ Activation(plus) - Activation(minus)

Instead of separate error neurons, the same cortical cells represent predictions (minus phase) and outcomes (plus phase) at different moments, driven by bidirectional pathways. Image

Today, two men were convicted at the Old Bailey for the May 2025 arsons targeting properties linked to Keir Starmer.
🇷🇺The media is screaming "Russian state sabotage".
A clinical OSINT analysis reveals something much darker: a sophisticated kompromat network, a lethal cleanup operation, and a manufactured catalyst for state censorship.
cps.gov.uk/cps/news/two-m…
Roman Lavrynovych and Stanislav Carpiuc were convicted today, while Petro Pochynok was cleared.
The press claims they were elite Russian agents.
Yet, Met Police Counter Terrorism Commander Helen Flanagan explicitly stated there is zero evidence of state backing. The motive was purely financial; Lavrynovych acted for crypto to pay medical bills.
news.met.police.uk/news/two-men-c…
Court transcripts revealed that Lavrynovych did not even know who Keir Starmer was at the time of the fires.
He explicitly testified to detectives that he held no ideological motive and felt severely threatened by the handler, stating he acted out of fear for the safety of his grandmother with whom he lived in London.

1)
I decided to find out what the first 8 billionaires I could think of actually have paid in taxes for the year 2025.

The total became $253 billion in taxes. That is just for 8 prominent billionaires. And this does not include taxes paid in by the masses of their employees,

nor corporate tax paid by their corporations.

Nor does this include the amount paid in state taxes, state corporate taxes, property taxes, etc.

Think about it."

Taurine is one of the most important nutrients for the brain, serving a number of protective roles in cognitive aging and stroke.

(🧵1/7)Image
Image
I was surprised to find out that taurine is actually the second most abundant amino acid in the central nervous system, behind glutamate.

Taurine levels in both the cerebrospinal fluid and certain brain regions are lower in people with Alzheimer's disease.

This has important consequences.Image
Image
Supplementing taurine has an important neuroprotective effect.

This study showed that ~5-6g of taurine (human equivalent) per day in animals increased a key glutamate receptor (mGluR5).

Studies show that there is 43% reduced binding in hippocampus of this receptor in Alzheiemer's.

This receptor is incredibly important for maintaining synaptic plasticity.

Taurine was likely able to do this by its ability to reduce excitotoxicity - a process where excessive glutamate and calcium poison neurons.Image

Some broad thoughts on the end of the war:

1. Trump is too lazy & clownish for a project as large & serious as a major war

Once it became clear that a strategic victory required ground combat, he got cold feet. If he had read anything about US wars in the M East or had

insisted on a proper policy process beforehand,he might have learned that. He didn’t, bc work bores him & he doesn’t read. So he trusted Netanyahu & his own gut

This is very similar to Trump’s refusal to prep or learn bf meeting Kim Jong-Un. Trump winged it thru those de-nuke

2
talks, which is a big reason why nothing came of them

2. America learned the limits of airpower - again

This is not new, & if Trump had done his prep & wasn’t so incurious, he probably would have asked his advisors if this would work now, where it had not in the past, & what

To solve aging, we first need to measure it. Excited to share our study in @NatureMedicine! Different cell types age at different rates within our body. From a tube of blood, we track aging across 40+ cell types, from immune cells to neurons, revealing signatures that forecast disease risk and resilience. @wysscoray 🧵1/9Image
Aging is a central driver of many diseases, from neurodegeneration to cancer. But not everyone ages along the same trajectory. Why do some people remain resilient while others become vulnerable? 2/9 Image
Aging is not a single clock ticking uniformly across the body. It unfolds across biological scales: cells → organs → individuals. Lifespan reflects the integration of aging rates across these levels. Cells shape organ function and disease vulnerability. So we asked: can we measure aging at cellular resolution in humans? 3/9Image

Daily Ukraine map thread for Monday 15th June 2026

Kyiv and other cities were struck by numerous missiles last night. Whilst most of the footage was of attacks on the Lavra, it looks like a Firepoint drone production or assembly facility was hit somewhere judging by some of the photos going around of stacked wing spars in wreckage. As always, loose lips sink ships and all that - if you're hearing it from us, that means it's long gone public ready.

The Ukrainian midstrike and long range campaign continues apace. Numerous units from across the spectrum show destroyed vehicles. The lesser shown off short range drones are still destroying many many vehicles, as demonstrated by a Russian quad driving a short distance towards Hulyaipole coming across at least 17 wrecks.

No BDA from Rybinsk Strategic Oil Reserve yet, but Tamanneftegaz shows three further large oil tanks destroyed. Plenty more to go.Occupied territories as of 15th June 2026
